September 22, 2008 - Plastics on the ground came in March when Procter and Gamble Co. (NYSE:PG) took its business elsewhere. It wasn't clear until Friday, however, that the blow would prove fatal to one of Erie County's oldest and best-known plastics companies. Erie Plastics Chief Executive Paul C. "Hoop" Roche, 63, announced Friday he's in discussions with Ed Crawford, chief executive of Park Ohio Corp., for Crawford to buy both the company's equipment and the plant on Route 6 in Corry.
